Tackling the fear of presentingHow do you tackle the fear of presenting? Here are some techniques to help you stay calm, get your audience hooked and keep in control when delivering a presentation.
Multitasking, marijuana, managing?If you fancy yourself as a bit of a multi-tasker, I've got news for you. When you multitask, you might think you're doing a lot of work, but you're not doing most (or any) of it well. Why? Because the brain can only concentrate on one task at a time.

Reinventing the wheelIt's easy to think that something is so simple that you couldn't improve it or so low-tech your intellect would be wasted even thinking about it. But you'd be wrong. Because anything that is invented can - and often should - be reinvented.
Crazy ideas make the world go roundAll of us face the same pressure not to rock the boat and not to do anything too strange. But it's the people with crazy ideas who dare to follow their weird and wonderful instincts who can change the world in tiny as well as large ways.
